Understanding cardiac health
India now bears the world's highest cardiovascular disease burden, with 20–40% of adults living with hypertension — many undiagnosed. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in India, driven largely by lifestyle: chronic stress that keeps the sympathetic nervous system permanently activated, a processed food culture, sedentary living, and inadequate sleep.
A 2025 meta-analysis of 30 randomised controlled trials in PLOS One — encompassing 2,283 participants — found that yoga produces a mean reduction of 7.95 mmHg in systolic blood pressure and 4.93 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure compared to waitlist control. All cardiac services at Tratak are designed conservatively and in consultation with your cardiologist, progressing at precisely the pace your heart requires.
“A meta-analysis of 30 RCTs with 2,283 participants found yoga produces significant reductions in systolic blood pressure (−7.95 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (−4.93 mmHg), and heart rate (−4.43 mmHg) compared to waitlist control.”
